Are u sure i got an email back from a contact at crow cams and the cam i bought i asked for the specs and he said i should get 320 kw from it thats a big gain for just a cam and spring change isnt it

320fwkw.
The stock GTS-R was 300fwkw with a very mild cam and st intake/exhaust setup.
So Id say that was about right.

What are the cam spec's? I take it you didnt go too mental?

Should be around 260rwkw or 360rwhp at the end of it all..

8712651a IN.21/65 EX.72/20 266/273 ADV 214/221 0.050 .518" .525" 1500-5500 K871
Increased mid range power with minimal effect on fuel economy and idle quality

Small cam, but should be nice step up. Id have been tempted by their next model the "275" 218/224 with a tad more lift.
But that one depending on LSA should be well compliant. Let us know how it goes. Are you doing a before and after?

HOPefully throw it on the dyno next saturday before i pull it apart will be a case of finding time to do it then should be it by end of april....would u go for the next cam up would it be a simple case of just putting it in or would u have to do work elsewhere

You would normally want uprated valve springs with any cam anyway. They will all require a tune even if it says it doesnt need it.
Plus you should check piston to valve clearance, though thats probably an issue only with larger duration stuff.

All my v8 cars have had cams and all have been crap until they were tuned. In fact power was the same or worse than stock until it was tuned up.

Yeah have supplied valve springs with it and yes ill have to come across the water to get monfish to tune it for me as i dont think anyone over here can do it

There must be someone in Ireland capable of tuning one of these. There is a lad in the North drifting a nissan S15 with an LS2 under the bonnet, its running throttlebodies and im sure its stroked out to 6.8 or something like that.

If u find out who would be good if u could pass that on save me a lot of trouble

Thanks mate thats some car he has built

[ringram]

If he can tune that ok, then he should be ok.
Though idle and near idle transitions take the most time. Something that spends its time at WOT may not have as nice manners in the idle dept.
